Summary :

About 1 year ago, wanted to get into car racing world, which I asked my friend about what car should I get, which now I've my KE70. I love modifying cars,solo cruise driving, which I think this is the best beginner car for me to start off with. Currently there's no modification to the stock engine because I'm waiting the engine to 'grenades' by me. Overall my car drives smooth and nothing is bothering me except some rust spots which is gonna be fixed soon.
